This is my build.xml file. I am trying to call testNG.xml file to execute it from build.xml but i am getting below error.

 <property name="bin.dir" value="${basedir}/bin" />
 <property name="lib.dir" value="${basedir}/lib" />
 <property name="src.dir" value="${basedir}/src" />
 <property name="res.dir" value="${basedir}/resources" />
 <property name="server.dir" value="${basedir}/server" />

<path id="seleniumautomation.classpath">
  <!-- <pathelement path="${lib.dir}" /> -->
  <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
   <include name="*.jar" />
   <include name="**/*.jar" />
  </fileset>
  <!--<fileset dir="${basedir}/server"> <include name="*.jar" /> <include 
   name="**/*.jar" /> </fileset> -->
 </path>

<target name="clean">
    <echo>Clean data</echo>
    <delete failonerror="false" dir="lib"/>
</target>

<target name="create" depends="clean">
    <echo>Creating directory.</echo>
    <mkdir dir="lib"/>
</target>

<target name="copy" depends="create">

        </fileset>
    </copy>
</target>

<target name="compile" depends="copy">

You are missing taskdef tag like:

<taskdef resource="testngtasks" classpath="<Path where testng jar is in >/testng.jar"/>
